Fraudster Takes Credit for Franklin Graham’s Hurricane Relief Convoy
If Franklin Graham appears to be giving the old side eye to ex-resident dotard in the photo above, it may be because drumpf loudly took credit for Graham’s charitable organization, Samaritan’s Purse, rolling truckloads of Hurricane relief supplies into town during their appearance in Valdosta, Georgia yesterday. In addition to slandering President Biden by accusing him of not doing his utmost to provide relief, Trump first stated that he brought the truckloads of supplies himself, while camera were rolling, before later in his statement credited Graham with doing so. Of course right wing news sources amplified Trump’s original claim while ignoring his later demurral: Just a few days ago, Trump started using the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to hold political events and attack his political opponents. In a press release on Sunday, the Trump campaign stated Trump would be visiting Valdosta, Georgia to “facilitate the distribution of relief supplies.”

Dominionism Again.......
Zorek Richards
Below is a rather odd prayer during a "Truth & Liberty Coalition" event a couple weeks ago by a pastor named EW Jackson. He's connected with the "New Apostolic Reformation" NAR has Charismatic connections which also has connections with the Seven Mountain Dominion.
"Lord God, work your will on behalf of those who are seeking to represent you and cause those who are against you to fall flat on their faces.’ So, I don’t care how well Kamala Harris did in the debate. I’ve got news for her: She doesn’t have a strategy that can outsmart God! ..I’m also here to declare in the name of Jesus that we are not going to allow a bunch of Marxists and socialists and communists and a bunch of sexual perverts and a bunch of political power-grabbers to take our country and lead it in a direction that is not pleasing to Almighty God! America is going to remain one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
One humorous point is that he mentions that Kamala Harris did good in the debate. He must have been so busy telling God what to do in his prayer that he missed the Maga-Memo that Harris cheated and Trump had already declared himself the winner when he walked off the stage. It's hard for a group of conmen to remember which con trumps which con. 🙄

The Evangelicalism of Jimmy Carter
When Jimmy Carter spoke about his faith in Christ while campaigning for president in 1976, many evangelicals were ecstatic. No previous presidential candidate had claimed to be “born again” or spoken so openly about his relationship with Jesus. Nor had any welcomed journalists to his adult Sunday school class, which Carter continued to teach even while running for the White House. But then again, no other presidential candidate was a deacon in a Southern Baptist church. The United States needed a “born-again man in the White House,” Oklahoma pastor Bailey Smith told the crowd gathered at the SBC’s annual meeting in June 1976. Then he added, in case anyone missed the hint, “And his initials are the same as our Lord’s!”
